About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable full-stack systems and, more recently, AI-powered products that drive real business outcomes. Currently at Intuit, I've architected an agentic AI analytics solution that accelerated developer productivity by 85% and cut issue resolution time by 90% — and filed a patent for a novel approach combining Language Server Protocol (LSP) with AI agents to improve code generation accuracy. My career spans high-growth companies — Intuit, Uber, Stanza Living, and Zoho — where I've led teams, redesigned enterprise platforms, and shipped products that serve millions of users. At Uber, I led a team of 4 engineers building billing and sales tools, introduced a Playwright-based E2E testing framework that eliminated manual testing, and drove a full codebase migration from Flow to TypeScript. At Zoho, I consolidated 30 legacy modules into 14 and spearheaded the migration of 20 years of historical CRM data. I'm deeply comfortable across the full stack: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, GraphQL, Java, and Agentic AI systems. I care about code quality, developer experience, and building things that actually scale. Outside of work, I build things for fun — including a live multiplayer board game platform (boardgameshive.com) and an expense-splitting app. I'm a language-agnostic engineer who picks up new stacks quickly and thrives in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.
